You can even say a particular virus distinguishes it as covid etc (which isn't what you're doing in saying gametes in general). This may help identification (except in where the virus may be introduced as a vaccine or may be inactive by some circumstance - similar to gamete argument) but these border cases (even if we measure amount to distinguish vaccines and, maybe, inactive strains) don't tell us how to cure it or even whether there's immunity built up.
To analogize back to gender, we can identify by body organ, gametes etc and have just some border cases but ramping up to fixing gender imbalances etc these border cases become the majority or whole of the cases (they particularly become 100% in people who are in the border cases). It becomes a case of if you're "normal" then you match the set. This is obviously uninformative of what sex is. For example in menopause the solution to helping with the symptoms or even enacting a cure would amount to showing more ovum cells in them which is barbaric and doesn't help with menopause.
Obviously you agree that having certain estrogen levels doesn't make you a male or female and that can only help with menopause symptoms but not cure it. It's a similarly barbaric approach but one we can use which helps menopause symptoms. Also we must agree that genitalia is a horrible indicator for scientific reasons of sex and given advances in plastic surgery.
Anyways any border cases on a shallow level has consequences more fundamentally in any subject. This can probably be quantified.
